I’ve been counting calories since July, and have been averaging 1/2 pound loss per week. SW: 144, CW: 136.4, GW 125. I’ve been doing fairly well meeting my goal calories (around 1350), with the exception of 1-2 days per week when I eat out. The last few days I’ve been losing much more weight than usual (138.8—137.8—137.4—136.4), and I’m wondering how to explain this? I know weight can jump from day to day and is often just water weight. I’ve had single days in the past where I might be up or down 1-2 pounds but then it usually gets back on the trend, but this is unusual for me to have 3 days in a row like this.
I’ve been under my calorie goal the last few days. I know that one pound is 3500 calories and I definitely haven’t had a deficit of 8400 calories to add up to the 2.4 pounds I’ve lost in the last 3 days. Has my body made some sort of adjustment in my metabolism after being on a slow and steady weight downtrend, and I’m now having a phase of rapid weight loss even though the calorie deficit doesn’t make sense? Is this false weight loss/water loss and is it possible I’ll equilibrate back up to the 138 range where I was before and resume my 1/2 pound loss per week? I’d be thrilled if this were real weight loss as I’d be that much closer to my goal, but I suspect the slower loss is more real and sustainable.
